00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:01,100
Hello everyone.

2
00:00:01,100 --> 00:00:04,730
Right now we're going to learn about the use of pen tool.

3
00:00:04,730 --> 00:00:09,890
And this is one of the most widely using tools in Adobe Illustrator.

4
00:00:09,890 --> 00:00:16,550
So let's learn in details about the use of pen tool in Adobe Illustrator.

5
00:00:16,550 --> 00:00:20,840
And we are going to draw a Nike logo with the use of pen tool.

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,880
So let's start from the beginning.

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,490
So I'm going to take a preset and I'm going to use this common preset as like before.

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,910
So at first you need to know what is pen tool okay.

9
00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:33,920
So you can see this is the curvature tool.

10
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,370
And beside the curvature tool you will have this pen tool okay.

11
00:00:37,370 --> 00:00:39,080
So I'm going to use this pen tool.

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,500
And what is the pen tool.

13
00:00:42,650 --> 00:00:47,270
Actually the pen tool is used for drawing free path lines.

14
00:00:47,510 --> 00:00:52,700
Just as if you were using an actual pencil to draw on the paper.

15
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:54,470
So I hope you got the idea.

16
00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:57,290
What is the use of the pencil or pen tool?

17
00:00:57,830 --> 00:01:02,360
So let's start drawing how this pen tool is working.

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,150
So let me draw my first anchor point in here.

19
00:01:05,150 --> 00:01:08,990
And I'm drawing my second anchor point in here.

20
00:01:08,990 --> 00:01:12,980
And then I'm going to draw my third anchor point in here.

21
00:01:12,980 --> 00:01:15,860
So basically what we are getting we're getting the straight lines.

22
00:01:15,860 --> 00:01:21,530
But what you will do if you need some curved shapes, you don't have to worry about it.

23
00:01:21,530 --> 00:01:23,240
You just have to do one thing.

24
00:01:23,270 --> 00:01:30,260
So you have to take another anchor point and you have to hold your mouse left button.

25
00:01:30,260 --> 00:01:34,700
Then you will be able to create the curved shapes.

26
00:01:34,970 --> 00:01:35,660
Okay.

27
00:01:35,810 --> 00:01:43,490
So with the use of pen tool you will be able to create straight lines as well as curves at Owens.

28
00:01:43,490 --> 00:01:46,700
So this is the beauty of Pen tool okay.

29
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:55,070
So you can see along with my straight line I am able to create some curved shapes, but it's quite tough

30
00:01:55,070 --> 00:01:57,620
to do the same things with the curvature tool.

31
00:01:57,620 --> 00:02:00,920
That's why Adobe Illustrator has two different type of tools.

32
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,320
One is curvature tool and another is pen tool.

33
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,030
And this is what we are going to do.

34
00:02:05,060 --> 00:02:12,530
We're going to draw a Nike logo along with the straight lines and the curves with the pen tool.

35
00:02:12,530 --> 00:02:14,090
So let's start the process.

36
00:02:14,090 --> 00:02:17,120
And I'm going to I'm going to use this selection tool.

37
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,730
And I'm going going to select this one.

38
00:02:20,210 --> 00:02:22,940
And I'm going to delete this.

39
00:02:22,940 --> 00:02:27,560
And remember one thing you have to use the place options.

40
00:02:27,980 --> 00:02:29,750
So here is the file menu.

41
00:02:29,780 --> 00:02:31,340
Here is the place option.

42
00:02:31,340 --> 00:02:34,160
And from there I'm going to use this Nike logo.

43
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,260
And I'm going to click place okay.

44
00:02:36,260 --> 00:02:38,120
So I am placing here.

45
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:44,570
And you can see we got the beautiful Nike logo and this Nike logo I'm using because it's have a combination

46
00:02:44,570 --> 00:02:46,640
of curved and the straight lines.

47
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:47,030
Okay.

48
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:51,170
So let me increase the size of my Nike logo.

49
00:02:52,230 --> 00:02:53,940
We can take the audience.

50
00:02:55,050 --> 00:02:55,920
Okay.

51
00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:59,070
So now we will start creating the logo.

52
00:02:59,070 --> 00:03:01,260
So I'm clicking in some empty spaces.

53
00:03:01,260 --> 00:03:09,390
Then I'm going to pick this pen tool and make sure this time you have you have using this no fill for

54
00:03:09,390 --> 00:03:15,810
fill color and uh, some red or green color or any color you can use for the stroke.

55
00:03:15,810 --> 00:03:21,540
And instead of one point, I want to go for the two point for the stroke line.

56
00:03:21,540 --> 00:03:21,960
Okay.

57
00:03:22,020 --> 00:03:26,280
So I'm going to put my first anchor point in here.

58
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,900
And I'm going to put my second anchor point in here.

59
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:36,870
And then I'm not releasing the pressing my mouse left button.

60
00:03:36,870 --> 00:03:42,270
And I am drawing my first curve like this okay.

61
00:03:42,420 --> 00:03:51,120
And then you can see when I'm trying to create and another it seems kind of um, bending option, but

62
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,620
I don't want to use the bend.

63
00:03:52,620 --> 00:03:54,390
I want to draw the straight line.

64
00:03:54,390 --> 00:03:58,170
And that's why I'm directly just pulling my straight line till here.

65
00:03:58,170 --> 00:04:03,960
And then I'm again, I'm going to draw my second straight line.

66
00:04:06,380 --> 00:04:12,650
Till here and then I want to I want to draw my another line in here.

67
00:04:12,650 --> 00:04:15,440
But this will be in curve mode.

68
00:04:15,470 --> 00:04:20,030
That's why I'm using this curve mode okay okay.

69
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:25,490
Now you can see I need to I need to connect my final line till here.

70
00:04:25,490 --> 00:04:29,900
But you can see my, um, pen tool seems in bending.

71
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:35,120
That's why I'm unable to connect this line properly with my first anchor point.

72
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,200
That's why what you have to do, you have to press escape button from your keyboard.

73
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,170
So I'm pressing escape button, and again, I'm.

74
00:04:42,350 --> 00:04:52,100
I'm putting my mouse cursor with this anchor point, and then I'm, uh, placing my anchor point in

75
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:52,520
here.

76
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,420
But before that, I need to make.

77
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,210
Properly.

78
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,080
We have other great options on the table at Salt Lake.

79
00:05:07,220 --> 00:05:08,810
I'm in here.

80
00:05:08,900 --> 00:05:09,740
Okay.

81
00:05:10,010 --> 00:05:12,650
You can see we have created the Nike logo.

82
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,880
Now I need to I need to remove this logo from here.

83
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,310
And that's why I'm using this selection tool.

84
00:05:19,310 --> 00:05:21,830
And now let's remove the logo.

85
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,330
So you can see we have created almost similar logo as like Nike.

86
00:05:28,570 --> 00:05:34,960
So with the use of with the use of pen tool, you will be able to draw this kind of tool.

87
00:05:34,990 --> 00:05:37,510
So I hope you got the idea.

88
00:05:37,510 --> 00:05:45,010
But one things I need to tell you that for making the perfect logo, you must have to do more practice.

89
00:05:45,010 --> 00:05:49,630
Because with the use of pen tool you have to do a number of practice.

90
00:05:49,630 --> 00:05:51,430
Then you will have the good accuracy.

91
00:05:51,610 --> 00:05:55,480
So I will request you to do some more practice.

92
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,080
And I'm going to see you in our next lesson.
